ISTANBUL (AP) ― Adrian may never play more than a smattering of games for Liverpool, but he'll be remembered for his "crazy week."

After Champions League holder Liverpool and Europa League winner Chelsea finished extra time at 2-2, Adrian made the crucial save with his leg to deny Tammy Abraham and give his team a 5-4 win on penalties in a game which finished after midnight Turkish time on Thursday.

It was a dramatic turnaround after Adrian fouled Abraham to concede a penalty in extra time. Adrian was signed just nine days before as backup for Alisson, but when the Brazilian injured himself last Friday in the English Premier League opener, he was thrust into the spotlight first as a substitute, then as a Super Cup starter.

The 32-year-old Spanish goalkeeper was a free agent after leaving West Ham, where he didn't play a single Premier League game last season and last appeared in an FA Cup loss to lowly AFC Wimbledon.웨스트햄을 떠나 FA자격으로 리버풀에 입단한 32살의 스페인 출신 아드리은 지난 시즌 웨스트햄 소속으로 단 한경기도 프리미어리그 경기에 나오지 못했다. 그의 마지막 경기는 AFC윔블던을 상대로 패배한 FA컵 경기였다.
